Safety Index Evaluation and Calibration of Load and Resistance Factors for Concrete Beams Under the Simultaneous Effects of Bending, Shear and Torsion

The conventional approach for designing reinforced concrete members is based on load and resistance factors. In spite of the fact that, the load and resistance parameters are random variables, constant values are designated to them during the design. However, accounting these factors as constants, w...
